If you’ve ever been to Vermont and know a thing or two about skateboarding, you’re familiar with the scarcity of skate spots. Between the brutal winters and the topography of the city, you’re pretty hard-pressed to find a decent plaza to skate, let alone some smooth concrete.

Chef, a lifelong skateboarder and construction extraordinaire, built a little skate plaza just south of Burlington about 7 years ago. This summer a bunch of my buddies back home took a few trips to skate Chef’s plaza and Blotto went along to document the sessions.

Blotto also wrote a pretty solid piece over at Manfrotto, so you’ll have to head over there to see more photos of this plaza and get the scoop. While you’re at it, make sure to have a look at some of Blotto’s photos.

My good friend Kyle Burroughs has been busy filming for a new skate video coming out of Vermont, titled: “Bestevermont”. He, Stephen and our buddy / world-renowned photographer, Blotto, recently took a little hike up Stowe and captured these amazing photos. Kyle’s got some of the best style and pop in the game…I can’t wait to see how his video turns out this Fall. Hopefully I’ll have a clip or two in it also!

Kyle is also a certified raw nutritionist and has an amazing chocolate company based out of Burlington, VT called Wholey Cacao. I couldn’t give a stronger recommendation to give his products a try.

Thanks to The Good Life for the photos. Be sure to check out the rest of the set too!

I’m a big fan of Blotto‘s photos and especially like his recent coverage of some BMX racing. For the past few summers, he’s been attending and documenting races with GT Bicycles, making for some mighty fine photos along the way. Have a look at the rest of his shots over at Blotto Photto, and if you haven’t already you should browse his Feature Bikes.

You may know our buddy Blotto as one of the legendary Burton Snowboardsphotographers, but what you may not know is his deep love for bicycles. He’s on the road 250 days a year, though when he’s in town he’s likely to be cruising around on one of his beautiful track bikes. The shot above comes from the Muir Woods out in the Bay Area. Make sure to check out his collection of bicycle photos too, and learn more about Blotto at Seven Days.
